Holiday Horror Reads

摘要

Two excellent horror offerings should chill warmblooded readers this fall. Award-winning sf/fantasy editor Datlow's first non-themed collection includes 20 stories by British and Australian writers that run the gamut from the grotesque (by Joyce Carol Oates, K.W. Jeter, and Mark Samuels), to family-security worries (Simon Bestwick, Mike Driscoll, and Nathan Ballingrud), to horror with the classic bells and whistles (Conrad Williams's "Perhaps the Last").
